SORCERER: I WANT TO BE AN ACADEMIC PRODIGY

Chapter 542: Chapter 540: Return to Hometown

The sky was clear for thousands of miles, and a shuttle-shaped airship streaked across the azure firmament.

This airship was the Lan Shuttle, which had traveled countless miles back to East Capital, and after another long journey, the Lan Shuttle had finally reached the airspace of the Chanay Continent, drawing ever closer to East Capital.

“One must admit, the lords of the elements do have commendable skills in refining and collecting elemental materials.”

Like most shuttle-shaped airships, the Lan Shuttle had a two-story structure on its deck, with the second floor being the residence of the airship’s owner. At this moment, Ivan was reclining on a lounge chair on the second floor, holding a ball of fire flickering with lightning flashes.

The interwoven fire and lightning formed a substance-like congealment.

In fact, this object, known as the Thunderfire Heart, was a strange flame born amidst thunder, and was a compensatory gift from the lord of the elements in Storm City.

…

Storm City had catered to his taste, for such a bizarre flame was greatly helpful to him in comprehending the fiery power laced with thunderous traits.

Unlike advancing to levels one, two, and three, arcane wizards had no period of fatigue from spiritual power or soul energy.

Upon reaching level four, a wizard’s training was generally divided into two parts: one, the cultivation of soul energy; and two, the cultivation of elements.

The cultivation of soul energy involved accumulating and forging soul energy continuously until a Void King Spirit Body was derived.

The cultivation of elements, on the other hand, began with expanding and deepening the elements domain to condense an Elemental King’s body. The second step was to engrave the true patterns carried by the Elemental King’s body onto one’s own body, resulting in elementalization while also continually forging the Elemental King’s body.

“Crack—Crack.”

The Thunderfire Heart in Ivan’s hand was beneficial for expanding and deepening the elements domain, which was why he was willing to accept this valuable gift.

As he expected, over the past ten days or so, he had made considerable gains.

Thunderous fire manifested easily in his other hand, with lightning occasionally flashing around the flames and a faint rumbling sound emerging, all of which clearly exhibited its ferocity.

“Still not smooth enough, more exploration is needed.”

He shook his head slightly, dissatisfied with the Thunderfire he had condensed, then, with a casual wave of his hand, both balls of different flames disappeared, and the Thunderfire Heart was stowed away in his space ring.

As the Lan Shuttle continued its journey day and night, East Blade City was finally within sight.

“It’s no wonder it’s a shuttle-shaped airship, its speed is a cut above the other types.”

Ivan counted the days and from Truth City to East Capital on the Chanay Continent, the journey had taken only thirty-seven days, a speed that was undeniably fast.

Wizards’ airships typically came in five types: sparrow-shaped, shuttle-shaped, wolf-shaped, whale-shaped, and roc-shaped.

Among these, sparrow-shaped emphasized agility, shuttle-shaped excelled in speed, wolf-shaped boasted substantial attack power, whale-shaped inclined towards defense, and roc-shaped was relatively balanced.

Among those specialized for speed, the Lan Shuttle was indeed outstanding.

“Still not enough, the Lan Shuttle still has potential for improvement.”

Ivan thought to himself, then put these thoughts aside as the airship neared the city walls of East Capital.

Compared to Sky Flow Valley, East Capital East Blade City held a different significance for him, this time being truly a homecoming.

“Welcome home, Lord Marichadon, back to East Capital!”

“Ah, everyone has worked hard.”

The Lan Shuttle paused only briefly at the city gate before driving into the vast interior of the city, leaving behind a group of guards holding gifts of appreciation, who watched the departing airship with reverent gazes that lingered long after it had disappeared.

For some in Sky Flow Valley, they had witnessed the birth of an Arcane Wizard.

And for the people of East Capital, it was as if they were witnessing the emergence of a legend, one that arose from the very land beneath their feet.

On the other side.

Ivan was unaware of the guards’ thoughts; after returning to East Capital, his first visit was to Philomena, the mistress of this place, to express his gratitude for her assistance.

Subsequently, he visited President Hardy, again to express his thanks and to inquire about the progress of the “Peerless Evil Spirit.”

Finally, the airship Lanso returned to Rapid Wood Tower, where he met the long-awaiting Justine and her companions—Justine, Pearney, and Angela Danlin appeared somewhat out of place.

“How come, not welcoming this sorcerer back?” Ivan asked with a gentle smile.

“Of course not, it’s just—just—” Justine and the others were certainly delighted; when the news had arrived, their excitement was so overwhelming, they almost fainted from it.

What is an Arcane Wizard?

They are the ones who govern the fate of the sorcerer world; they might even be called gods, for their every word and deed can influence countless people.

Now, here they were, the companions of such grand individuals, an unparalleled privilege. How could they not be overjoyed!

During this time, they had always hoped that Sorcerer Ivan would return, or send someone to take them to Truth City.

However, upon actually meeting Sorcerer Ivan, they realized what a divine-like figure he was, so noble and unapproachable, that Justine and the others felt ashamed in his presence.

“Let’s talk inside.”

With a wave of his hand, Ivan helped the bowing group to their feet.

Speaking of which, he had not been back for over ten years, so it was normal for everyone to need some time to readjust; after a few more days together, they would be accustomed.

He didn’t talk too much; that night, he called the four women to his bedroom and announced exhilarating news.

“In Truth City, I have acquired a territory comparable to an entire nation. It is intended for expanding our family, and I believe it’s time for you to take on the responsibilities of a lady of the manor.”

“Really? But the curse of the Curse of Demon’s Resentment—”

A territory as large as a nation, of course, delighted the four women, but Justine and Pearney, who knew more, couldn’t help but worry about the curse.

Affected by the curse’s power, the hope of propagating their lineage turned into an extravagant dream; despite their previous efforts, hopes had been dashed time and again.

“Don’t worry, I already have a perfect solution,” Ivan said lightly with a dismissive wave of his hand.

What he referred to was the Prophet’s Treasure Tome, always cleansing the negative energies from his body. Though not yet fully effective, it had removed a substantial part, and with the sealing of the Goddess’ Blessing, the curse’s influence on him had become negligible.

By his own estimation, it was very likely no longer affecting fertility.

“What are we waiting for?”

Hearing his response, Justine and Pearney’s eyes lit up, the former daringly throwing herself at the Arcane Wizard, her well-nourished figure like a vibrant bird.

“Come on, help us.”

“Right.”

“Sister, wait a moment; your sister will be right there.”

Justine, knowing well the challenge of dealing with an Arcane Wizard, didn’t forget to call her somewhat slower-reacting sisters.

The three uniquely graceful women, once they came to their senses, all responded, and even the most reserved, Dan Lin, was no exception.

Suddenly, the bedroom was filled with delightful sounds, and the barriers between them opened up at last.
